It communicates with the WebDriver API through the official JsonWireProtocol. One of the goals is to provide a client usage as close as possible to the Selenium Official libraries (such as Java's, c#'s). Most methods are named as the same as of these libraries'. In this way, whenever a developer runs into ideas or documentation in Java Client, the same techniques can be implemented by using this library. \##Documentation [Version 2](http://nearsoft-php-seleniumclient.herokuapp.com/docs/v2/) [Version 1](http://nearsoft-php-seleniumclient.herokuapp.com/docs/v1/) \##Quickstart - Start a session by creating an instance of WebDriver. By default, the test will run in firefox ``` $driver = new WebDriver(); ``` - As an alternative you can define desired capabilities for the session ``` $desiredCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities("chrome"); $driver = new WebDriver($desiredCapabilities); ``` - Navigate by using the WebDriver::get method from the WebDriver Class ``` $driver->get("www.nearsoft.com"); ``` - Get elements from the DOM in current location ``` $textbox1 = $driver->findElement(By::id("someTextBoxId")); $button1 = $driver->findElement(By::cssSelector("html body div#content input#someButtonId")); ``` - Manipulate located elements ``` $textbox1->sendKeys("Some text to send"); $textbox1->getAttribute("value"); $button1->click(); ``` - Find element within elements ``` $modal1->findElement(By::id("someModalId")); $listItems = $modal1->findElements(By::tagName("li")); ``` - Switch between windows ``` $driver->switchTo()->window("windowName"); ``` - Manage alerts $alert = $driver->switchTo()->alert(); $alert->getText(); $alert->accept(); $alert->dismiss(); - Wait for elements to be present ``` $webElement = $driver->waitForElementUntilIsPresent(By::id("someElementId")); //or $wait = new WebDriverWait(8); $webElement = $wait->until($driver,"findElement",array(By::id("someElementId"),true)); ``` ### Health Score 40 — FairBetter than 88% of packages Maintenance18 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity45 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community23 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity61 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio. Uses a 2-year decay window. **Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores. **Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers. Measures real ecosystem engagement. **Maturity (30%)** — Project age, version count, PHP version support, and release stability. ### Release Activity Cadence Every ~23 days Total 4 Last Release 4533d ago Major Versions v1.5 → v2.02013-12-20 ### Community Maintainers ![](https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/825b7145bd5e9afa0909fc3b431f5432001a5ec66a5a22247ff268c84c9457b9?d=identicon)[jsantiago](/maintainers/jsantiago) --- Top Contributors [![yair27](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/421409?v=4)](https://github.com/yair27 "yair27 (7 commits)")[![andrewmackrodt](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/831182?v=4)](https://github.com/andrewmackrodt "andrewmackrodt (4 commits)")[![dextercowley](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/953234?v=4)](https://github.com/dextercowley "dextercowley (4 commits)")[![nenadalm](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1227933?v=4)](https://github.com/nenadalm "nenadalm (2 commits)")[![0x46616c6b](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/363667?v=4)](https://github.com/0x46616c6b "0x46616c6b (1 commits)") --- Tags testingbrowserautomationseleniumnearsoft ### Embed Badge ![Health badge](/badges/nearsoft-php-selenium-client/health.svg) ``` [![Health](https://phpackages.com/badges/nearsoft-php-selenium-client/health.svg)](https://phpackages.com/packages/nearsoft-php-selenium-client) ``` ### Alternatives [behat/mink-selenium2-driver Selenium2 (WebDriver) driver for Mink framework 51159.1M666](/packages/behat-mink-selenium2-driver)[behat/mink Browser controller/emulator abstraction for PHP 1.6k86.1M606](/packages/behat-mink)[symfony/panther A browser testing and web scraping library for PHP and Symfony. 3.1k14.7M96](/packages/symfony-panther)[behat/mink-browserkit-driver Symfony2 BrowserKit driver for Mink framework 54562.0M318](/packages/behat-mink-browserkit-driver)[instaclick/php-webdriver PHP WebDriver for Selenium 2 43661.8M22](/packages/instaclick-php-webdriver)[phpunit/phpunit-selenium Selenium Server integration for PHPUnit 59610.9M150](/packages/phpunit-phpunit-selenium) PHPackages © 2026 [Directory](/)[Categories](/categories)[Trending](/trending)[Changelog](/changelog)[Analyze](/analyze)
